Description:
------------
Using extract() with EXTR_OVERWRITE|EXTR_REFS does not create references to the array elements if the following conditions are true:
- $a is referenced by some other variable (its is_ref flag is true).
- A variable already exists in the current scope with a name matching the key.
This is reproducible on 5.2, 5.3 and 6.0 snaps.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$a = array('foo' => 'original.foo');
$foo = 'test';
$ref = &$a;
extract($a, EXTR_OVERWRITE|EXTR_REFS);
$foo = 'changed.foo';
var_dump($a['foo']); //expecting changed.foo
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(11) "changed.foo"
Actual result:
--------------
string(12) "original.foo"

I think this is because $a is passed by value, and the call to SEPARATE_ZVAL_TO_MAKE_IS_REF(entry) below splits the array element from the original array. The reference is therefore created to the element of the argument array which, after the split, is not the same as the element of the original array. From array.c: ... if (zend_u_hash_find(EG(active_symbol_table), Z_TYPE(final_name), Z_UNIVAL(final_name), Z_UNILEN(final_name) + 1, (void **) &orig_var) == SUCCESS) { SEPARATE_ZVAL_TO_MAKE_IS_REF(entry); // <-- Split! entry no longer refers to element of $a. zval_add_ref(entry); zval_ptr_dtor(orig_var); *orig_var = *entry; } else { ... I believe the root cause for this bug is the same as bug http://bugs.php.net/44182. I have submitted a patch for that bug which fixes this one too.
